The work was dirty, tiring and not very well paid. People in the western states had to1cattle at low cost and send them by railway to the eastern2. But someone had to3the cattle and get them to the nearest railroad. This was the job of a cowboy. Sometimes the4was more than a thousand kilometers away and it could take as5as six months to move the cattle. The6was long but the cattle were driven7as not to lose8. Then they could be sold at a good price. Most cowboys were young, 9men. A good horse10their job of moving cattle much easier. A good cowboy11cows and knew how to control them. At night, he12to the cows to keep them calm. In the late 1800s, America was changing from a nation of farm to one of13and cities. The cowboy seemed14pared with other Americans doing ordinary jobs. Today, the15of cowboys has16greatly. One change is the use of trucks. The job is not so hard17it used to be. And cowboys are better18now. They are19to be married. Some of them are farmers or teachers or truck drivers. Some work for big panies. 20at night and on weekends, they bee cowboys. These part-time cowboys increase the total production of meat, keeping the beef price low. 【语篇概述】本文介绍了cowboy的历史变迁。1. A. getB. buyC. sellD. raise【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。at low cost以低的成本。养牛时当然追求低成本, 将来卖牛时当然应当是高价钱, 这样才能从中获得更高利润, 从此处可知是raise cattle(养牛)。2. A. marketsB. countriesC. citiesD. stories【解析】选A。从下文可看出是要用火车把它们运到东部的市场, 然后卖牛, 所以此处应选markets, 意为“市场”。3. A. deal withB. find outC. look afterD. pay off【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。cowboy的工作是照料牛, 并把它们赶到最近的铁路, 所以应是look after(照料)。4. A. roadB. railroadC. stateD. farm【解析】选B。词汇复现题。由上文已出现的railroad, 及表语more than a thousand kilometers away, 可知用railroad。5. A. goodB. muchC. longD. far【解析】选C。固定搭配题。表达要take“花费”6个月的时间, 自然用as long as(长达), 才与句意吻合。6. A. journeyB. tripC. tourD. travel【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。四个选项虽然都有“旅行”之意, 但只有journey可表示“路程, 行程”。7. A. hurriedlyB. smoothlyC. slowlyD. carefully【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。根据下文“be sold at a good price”, 所以不能让牛瘦了, 因此只有“slowly”慢慢走, 不让牛过于劳累, 牛才不会减重。8. A. mindB. directionC. headD. weight【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。根据下文“be sold at a good price”, 所以不能让牛瘦了, 因此用not to lose weight。9. A. unmarriedB. proudC. strongD. educated【解析】选A。因为一出去就是6个月, 因此最好是未婚男人不必照料妻子和孩子, A项为最佳答案。unmarried未婚的; proud自豪的; strong强壮的; educated受过教育的。10. A. hadB. madeC. foundD. helped【解析】选B。语法搭配题。句子最后有easier, 用于此结构(形容词作宾语补足语)的词此处只有found和made。根据上下文, 不是“发现容易”, 而是“一匹好马会使他们的赶牛的工作容易得多”, 所以选B。11. A. recognizedB. understoodC. ownedD. kept【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。只有“懂得牛”有这方面的常识和积累的经验, 才是一个好的cowboy, 也才能knew how to control them。12. A. whisperedB. shoutedC. criedD. sang【解析】选D。背景常识题。音乐或乐曲能使人、动物心态平和下来, 这是一般的常识, 所以用sang。whisper小声说, 耳语; shout大喊大叫; cry哭喊。13. A. townsB. factoriesC. paniesD. villages【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。这是美国扩大工业生产的时期, 因此句子里用了“changing from a nation of farm to. . . ”, farm应和factories相对。14. A. freeB. braveC. easyD. pleased【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。工厂的工作是跟大机器连在一起, 工厂都有严格的纪律要求, 因此相比较而言, cowboys就比较自由(free)了。15. A. mannerB. jobC. lifeD. mind【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。最后一段说的都是cowboy的变化, 通读后知道都是生活方面的。16. A. changedB. developedC. improvedD. realized【解析】选A。词汇复现题。下一句话的One change, 说明此处用changed。17. A. thatB. asC. whichD. what【解析】选B。语法搭配题。此处为比较句型“not so hard as. . . ”, 意为“不如艰难”。18. A. knownB. paidC. treatedD. dressed【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。只有雇方对待他们更好了, 才会有较好的工资, 也才会有钱去买衣服。而known“更出名了”, 与上下文不吻合。19. A. afraidB. eagerC. worriedD. likely【解析】选D。固定搭配题。be likely to do很可能做某事, 这与前面unmarried相呼应。be afraid to do sth. 害怕做某事; be eager to do sth. 渴望做某事; be worried to do sth. 担心做某事。这三项不符合句意。20. A. BecauseB. AndC. WhenD. But【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。前面是work for big panies“为大公司干活”, 后面是bee cowboys, 前后在逻辑上表示转折, 所以用but。. 阅读理解(xx全国卷)Grandparents Answer a CallAs a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities. No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents. , 83 percent of the people said Mrs Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family. “In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own, ”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children. ”Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder. 【语篇概述】本文是一篇议论文, 介绍了现在祖辈和孙辈住在一起有利有弊, 应该由每个人自己做出决定。1. Why was Garzas move a success? A. It strengthened her family ties. B. It improved her living conditions. C. It enabled her to make more friends. D. It helped her know more new places. 【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知, 现在Ms Garza去照看孙辈使得他们的关系更近了, 故而加强了她的家庭联系。2. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs Robinsons decision? A. 17% expressed their support for it. B. Few people responded sympathetically. C. 83% believed it had a bad influence. D. The majority thought it was a trend. 【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知, 大部分人会仿效Mrs Robinson的做法, 这会成为一种趋势。3. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s? A. They were unsure of themselves. B. They were eager to raise more children. C. They wanted to live away from their parents. D. They had little respect for their grandparents. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可推知, 20世纪60年代的时候, 人们想要离开家去证明自己的能力但现实并不允许, 他们心里其实是想离开家的。4. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph? A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own. B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them. C. Sacrifice for their struggling children. D. Get to know themselves better. 【解析】选A。推理判断题。由最后一段可知, 有时候对祖父母来说, 和子孙们住在一起并非就是好的选择, 不住在一起而经常去看望他们会更好, 这样不需改变祖父母熟悉的生活方式, 由此可推知作者建议祖父母是否和子孙一起住最好从自己的需求出发, 何去何从取决于自己的决定。BDo you read newspapers in modern times while we have TV and other media?
